I don’t think people really realize how much food has changed in the past few centuries. I was talking with this Pakistani dude and he was telling me about this traditional dish. Like half the ingredients were from the Columbian exchange.

The amount and variety of spices we have is just crazy in a historical context. For most humans for most of human history, meals consisted of grains in a pot, whatever veggies you could scrounge up (which looked very little like they do today), and a little meat if you were lucky.

Playing noise on your phone in a public place is wrong. Violators should be put in one those midevil contraptions that lock your head and wrists in a plank of wood so that we may all pelt you with rotten fruit and vegetables.

No one wants to hear that shit. You’re an asshole and should feel bad.

You can’t even prove numbers are real!

I remember a sack of potatoes costing 1.50. I remember rent costing 450. I remember chicken being less than 1 dollar per lb. I can even remember when healthcare and higher education was a reasonable price. But hey! At least the rich are getting richer

This. With the benefit of hindsight, the age of being an “adult” should be in the 20s. Your brain is still developing and growing. Nurture that shit! Have fun, make friends, and don’t go crazy with the booze and drugs.

It used to be. At least willing to host “left wing” ideas. Then the money bros got into it. I personally left after the api debacle. Should of have done it sooner.

German?

Racism and xenophobia aside, how many humans do we need? Our poor earth. A declining population is probably an ok thing. I think it’s the capitalist class ringing the alarm bell as they see their profit forecasts take a blow. How many hundreds of millions should that island hold?

Cool wind blows

Autumn’s herald harkens

Balls sweat no more

If you’re in the US, Spanish. It might actually be useful.

Boo. That shit carries so far. I go to the woods to get away from human bullshit. I’d much prefer the wind through the land with a birdsong accompaniment.

Yes! The amount of people who feel entitled to blast noise is too damn high! I was gonna comment on playing noise n speakers in public settings, but I’ll happily pile on here.

He sees the Russian oligarchs, basically medieval duchies where they’re a law unto themselves (unless they piss off papa Putin, then it’s out the window) and thinks that’s a pretty neat deal.

Tell them they’re all fake people for a free extension to your stay!

Public transportation doesn’t work in the endless suburbs and stripmalls we’ve built. It’s too spread out, and we’ve been doing it for a few generations now. It’s difficult for my countrypeople to imagine living differently, to imagine that our current existence may not be their birthright.

People think nothing of living 20 plus miles from where they work or go to school, can’t imagine a world where such a thing is a ridiculous notion. We could have all these nice things. People want a better world, a more functional city.

But ask people to change, to live a smaller life, and be prepared for a deluge of excuses and justifications. We all wake up and collectively decide the world we’re gonna live in today.

1910. It’s got old-school marble and stone work. Classy AF.

Any “big game”. Moose taste like swamp.

Venison can be good if it’s properly butchered and stored. It so often isn’t though. People will shoot a deer then leave it to hang for a day in 50-60 degree weather. Just gross.

Bears are too greasy. And they’re too smart, eating them is just bad karma.

A lot of game meat can be good, people just have no clue what to do with the processing side of it. They’ll spend thousands of dollars buying the most ridiculous gear to kill the damn thing, and then just fail at butchering and preserving. Hunting is the easy part.

Perch are good if you fry them right. But I live up north where the water stays cooler, I think it makes the fish taste better. You go down south and anything you catch just tastes like swamp.
